<p>I was wondering if we should purchase books now from the co-op website or wait until we have our first day of classes to see what books we definitly need.</p>
<p>If you buy the books a couple of days before, or the day of classes, will all of them still be available?</p>
<p>I would buy my books now, but I only can find new versions of calc and chemistry on the co-op 'books-to-go' website. English, intro to engineering, and a INTD freshman course are not listed on the website.</p>
<p>There are not even used options for the calc and chemistry books, and I don't have the money to spend $500 on new books.</p>
<p>I used Chegg.com, which is awesome because A) you don’t have to worry about selling the books back (which becomes a terrible ordeal as soon as a new edition is printed), and B) Chegg plants a tree for every single book you rent. You can ship the books back for free in the same box they came in. I found the prices to be about $10-$30 dollars cheaper per book. I admit, I don’t know if I’ll necessarily need ALL the books I got, but for $250, I’m very happy.</p>
<p>Any idea what happens if your assigned something on the first day/week of classes and still don’t have your text books? Because of this wouldn’t it make sense to get text books before class’s begin?</p>
